Roux Set for Ireland Debut

16 June 2016

Ireland head coach, Joe Schmidt, has made five changes to the Ireland team side for Saturday's second test against South Africa. Quinn Roux is in line to make his senior international debut - he partners Devin Toner in the second row. Craig Gilroy, Stuart Olding, Tadhg Furlong and Rhys Ruddock also come into the side. Gilroy is in for Keith Earls and completes an all Ulster back three along with Jared Payne and Andrew Trimble while Olding is named at inside centre in place of Luke Marshall. Tadhg Furlong is set for his first start at Test level. He replaces his Leinster team-mate, Mike Ross, in the front row while the suspension for CJ Stander sees some re-jigging in the backrow. Iain Henderson moves to blindside with Ruddock coming in for Jordi Murphy at openside flanker. Jamie Heaslip remains at number eight.
